Openxava 5.3 - minuteproject 0.9.3 - ehcache quick fix

Minuteproject 0.9.4- is not compatible with Openxava 5.3 regarding hibernate - ehcache integration.

Openxava hibernate dependency has been upgraded.
Hibernate now requires the property hibernate.cache.region.factory_class instead of hibernate.cache.provider_class
In the case of ehcache cache provider then the value is org.hibernate.cache.ehcache.SingletonEhCacheRegionFactory

This situation prevents OX generated App to start.

Patch 1

Download Minuteproject 0.9.5 to disable minuteproject 4 openxava ehcache wiring.
Add this property

< property name="openxava-disable-sdd" value="true" />


Patch 2

So the fix to apply in the generated code is to patch the generated persistence.xml with

< property name="hibernate.cache.region.factory_class" 
value="org.hibernate.cache.ehcache.SingletonEhCacheRegionFactory" />


Meanwhile it is not enough since now hibernate core do not bundle the cache package.
The package is now in the archive hibernate-ehcache.xxx.jar

Alternative


Disable the openxava ehcache hibernate config by removing the hibernate properties related to cache in persistence.xml

Follow-up

In next release minuteproject will come with the property to disable openxava-hibernate-cache.
